| Résumé : |
The sensory challenges for autistic children and adults alike can seriously affect their wellbeing and their ability to access and benefit from experiences. Over recent years, there has been an increasing focus on how sensory needs can be ascertained and then how these might be addressed to lessen their effects. In this small study within a resource base in a mainstream primary school, the author worked with a specialist occupational therapist (OT) and parents to devise a sensory diet for five autistic children. The Autism Education Trust (AET) Progression Framework was used to monitor change. While it is not possible to claim it was this work that led to some of the improvements seen, the study does provide some good ideas on sensory assessment and on ways to support children who are over or under sensitive to sensory stimuli. Developing the knowledge of the whole staff of the school and working closely with the children's parents were key aspects so that experiences and ideas are shared and built upon and future children can benefit. |
